Everything You Need To Know About Yoknapa Taco: Past, Present And Future

November 21, 2016

Yoknapa Taco has only been around for a little over a year now and is already a town favorite.

Past

The mastermind behind Yoknapa Taco is Jacob Sessums. While attending grad school at Ole Miss, he had this idea of starting a food truck in Oxford after visiting Nashville. Sessums saw a hole in the market for food trucks in Oxford. He thought Oxford was a town that would be perfect for food trucks, with the college students and the lack of late night food. He first set out to see if it was even possible. He thought that there must be a law prohibiting it, and that is why no one has done it yet.

“I just was waiting for them to tell me I can’t do this, but I’m going to try to figure out a way that I can,” Sessums said.

He spent hours at city hall, working with the mayor, the city council and the city planners, trying figure out a way that he could make it work and be accepted by not only the people who live in Oxford but also the city government.
